Sightmark Presidio
The Sightmark Presidio delivers excellent optical performance, thanks to its fully multi-coated lenses that maximize light transmission and ensure superior brightness and color accuracy. Whether you’re competing, plinking at the range, or out hunting, the clarity and image quality are exceptional. The low-profile locking turrets are a standout feature, offering quick, secure adjustments even in dynamic conditions. This scope’s rugged construction is reinforced by a single-piece 30mm tube made from aircraft-grade aluminum, ensuring it can withstand recoil and external stresses without compromising alignment. I appreciate the Presidio’s IP67 rating, which makes it dustproof, waterproof, and shockproof, allowing it to endure immersion up to 3 feet and drops of up to 3 feet. Its scratch-resistant lens coating keeps the optics in pristine condition, while the zero-stop elevation dial makes adjustments effortless and precise in any environment.
Nightforce Benchrest
The Nightforce Benchrest NF 12-42x56mm F2 hunting gun scope features 56mm multi-coated lenses that provide superior resolution for discerning fine details at extreme distances. With an adjustable objective for parallax adjustments from 25 yards to infinity, this scope ensures precision at various ranges. Target turrets are calibrated in true .125 MOA (1/8 click) values, allowing for easy re-indexing to zero after sighting in. Equipped with a coil spring plunger return system, it maximizes tracking accuracy. The eyepiece enables fast reticle focusing, while the glass-etched illuminated reticle offers optimum image contrast in different lighting conditions. This scope is ideal for serious shooters seeking exceptional performance and reliability.
